Something that struck me the other night: Not counting the actual mechanical safety of a SA, a cocked-unlocked SA with the safety off in most modern incarnations has a firing pin safety of some sort to prevert a round being fired even if the hammer drops for some reason with out pulling the trigger. Do modern TDA's also have this feature? Does a TDA that has been fired or hand cocked to SA usually also have a firing pin safety of some sort to prevent a round being fired w/o pulling the trigger. The pistol I'm most curious about are modern Sigs the P226 to be exact.
What made me think about it is the often repeated range command at quals ever year, "Scan, breath, decock, holster." I agree that carrying a TDA w/ a cocked hammer probably isn't how the weapon was designed to be carried, but what safety's does it bypass beyond a long heavy first pull? I'm not advocating doing so mind you, I'm just curious.
